Disambiguation link notification for June 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Person of color, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page European. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Recent edit reversion
In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk)  14:41, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, thank you for getting in touch, however, it seems like your edit was mistaken as the original text posted is from an author well into the public domain (1600s). The website you mention in the edit summary is just one of many websites that have her poems. Also your edit reverted many unrelated edits that I had done. Would you mind reviewing the public domain stuff? You can look up the first verse of the poem in a search engine "Verme, Alcino, que atada a la cadena de Amor, paso en sus hierros aherrojada" and you'll get many results. Let me know what you think.

 * Thank you for your note, I undid my reversion S Philbrick  (Talk)  13:37, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * If I may add, here is a link to the poet's page at WikiSource (in Spanish) where you can see some of her other works. DemianStratford (talk) 17:42, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:American writer Rikki Ducornet.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:American writer Rikki Ducornet.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:52, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
